Nelson-Atkins

July 10 brought temperatures over 100 degrees to Kansas City, so we spent the afternoon in the cool galleries of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. One fantastic thing about KC is that the major art museums, such as the Nelson, Kemper, and Nerman are free, no $18 admission like at the Art Institute in Chicago or $25 like MoMA in New York. The Nelson has an amazing comprehensive collection, particularly in Chinese art, and it's fantastic that we can pop in whenever the mood strikes, not worrying about high admission costs.
